Nikita Kering and Khaligraph have promised to make musical magic for the much anticipated Coke Studio Africa season.
The unveiling of Nikita Kering and Khaligraph Jones as this year's Coke Studio representatives a few days ago continues to generate heated discussion online.
Many Kenyans have been supportive of the decision but a few of Khaligraphs peers have differed. During her unveiling, the teen sensation told fans what to expect about their sound
“I wasn’t sure how our styles would blend, but working with Khaligraph has been awesome. He is not only incredibly talented but also a sweetheart to work with. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to collaborate with on my first endeavor of this kind,” the ex-singer is quoted as promising her fans.
Khali agreed as much;
"I want to express my gratitude to Coke Studio for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this song with Nikita. I’ve been a fan of her music. I come from Kayole, and she hails from Karen, so it’s an exciting blend, and I can’t wait for people to witness what we’ve created together," he said.
Willy Paul and Scar Mkadinali appeared to have a dissenting voice and aired their opinion individually, bashing the selection.
Khaligraph who is very vocal on things music, reacted to Willy Paul, in a hard-hitting note. And Sunday, July 9, Nikita appeared to dig in as well with her own sentiments.
“Artists are not like Athletes. We cannot win gold, we cannot beat other creatives, and we cannot come in first. Our sport is subjective. Creating to be the Best is a waste of energy. Instead, Create to connect to the people who need you because they’re out there.
Create in your own way, because there is no right way. Take the Pressure off, and Focus on Your Unique Brand of Magic,” she penned on her Instagram and Twitter.
